MONTEREY PARK, Calif. (KABC) -- Authorities seek the public's help Tuesday to find the man they say killed his girlfriend in front of their four children on Saturday.
The victim's 9-year-old daughter called 911 with a frantic plea for help after seeing the brutal attack at about 2 a.m. Saturday in Lancaster.
Click in the Eyewitness News Story Window above to watch Jovana Lara's report, including the 9-year-old's 911 call.
The young girl placed the call from the couple's apartment after she and her three young brothers allegedly watched their father, 28-year-old Jesus Canales, murder his long-time girlfriend, 26-year-old Lucy Preciado, with a 3-foot-long sword.

Girl: Hello, my dad just stabbed my mom.
911: He just what your mom?
Girl: He just stabbed my mom.
911: What did he stab her with?
Girl: A sword.
911: A sword?
Girl: Yes.
Detectives described the killing as the worst they had ever seen.
"To think about the trauma that was introduced into the children's lives, the tape, as you heard, is just gut-wrenching, and it affects everybody who becomes familiar with the case," said Lt Dave Dolson from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Detectives believe Canales is driving a bronze 2002 GMC Safari van, with California license plates with tag number 6CBY663. Canales may be carrying a pistol and is considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information is urged to call the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department at (323) 890-5500.

Yeah, the picture is small! My ex did that once on a dating site while he was married to his 2nd wife. He made it small on purpose! lol Who knows if it's him or not. I thought it was interesting though about the sword movies. I wonder how many profiles list that specifically?!

true very true. Also a very funny coincidence if it is. Not many are into swords?

Hey tonight on news there was a clip on a burned car missing woman and that is what I am searching for and can't find? But I keep finding things to post here? Anyway do you happen to know that story I am looking for?

Authorities said that Jesus Humberto Canales, nicknamed “Chuey,” fled the scene after the crime and that detectives had been tracking him in New Mexico, Texas, Mexico and El Salvador. Eventually, investigators developed a lead that Canales was living in a small town in the central Mexican state of Jalisco.

The U.S. Marshals Service contacted Mexican authorities, who arrested Canales on Thursday, officials said. Canales arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday.

This case has haunted me over the years. I remember when it happened (local) and it broke my heart.....the thought of this young woman and her kids. It was horrific. Kudos to LE for sticking with this case and bringing this monster in. These kids must have lived in fear knowing he was still out there somewhere. I pray that this arrest offers some kind of peace to them. May justice be swift and severe! Perhaps a Mod could change the title to reflect the victims name and the arrest. I think it would be fitting to honor her with that.
